The next day, Mr. Zhang was very happy. As expected, a large feast was held. The guests gathered the relatives and friends of the entire village to drink and celebrate for the day. No need to go into detail.

Fa Ming stayed for several days. He wanted to leave several times, but was stopped by Hibiscus, who wailed, "Don't let daddy leave." The anxious Farmer said in his heart, "This daughter has to admit that she is in trouble. It doesn't matter if I miss a few days. If I continue like this, how can I, a monk, not become a vulgar family? Who else are you looking for? It was truly a bad idea to ask Zhang Yuting for this favor. "Now I'm having a hard time.

Fa Ming was helpless and stayed for a few more days. He thought about going to Yuan Ming and said to Hibiscus, "My good daughter, quickly let daddy go." I was sent by the abbot of the temple to look for someone. There were also things that couldn't be delayed. If I miss anything, I will be punished in the temple. There's no need to say that. If you don't let me go, I will get sick. " Only then did Hibiscus agree to let him pass.

Seeing that she nodded and agreed to leave, Fa Ming was afraid that she would go back on her word and hurriedly prepared to leave. Mr. Zhang led his family and friends out of the village. Mishan and Fleur sent them on their way. The two of them had left Pingyuan County and were still sending each other off. Fa Ming advised the two of them to stop a hundred times. The two of them just refused to listen and insisted on sending them off.

Fa Ming was so anxious that he stopped and said, "You two really have the temperament of a child. You don't seem to understand anything. How could there be a banquet that did not disperse? Finally, they had to part ways from Jun Qianli. If there was a profit or loss in the month, they would meet again. We come to Japan often. " Farmer pretended to be angry and stopped the two before they were willing to leave. When he was far away, he looked back and saw that the two of them were still crying.

Farmer shouted again, "You guys, quickly go back! Serve your parents well. I found him and he's coming back! " He was also afraid that the two would follow him again, so he turned around and walked away quickly. Hibiscus and Mishan stopped crying and called out, "Goodbye, Daddy!" The two of them knelt on the ground, looked at the back of Fa Ming, bowed three times, and then reluctantly turned around and went back. Later on, Fleur served Mr. and Mrs. Zhang seriously and thoughtfully, until the end. Misheng became a soldier and a famous general in the army. Not counting the two of them.

However, it was clear that he was walking alone until nightfall. After passing through Yu City, he thought to himself: "I still can't stay in the restaurant. I have to sleep in the temple. Perhaps Yuan Ming's whereabouts can be found at any temple. " Farmer made up his mind and continued moving forward. Seeing that there were no temples around, a mountain appeared before his eyes. As he crossed the mountain, he saw a temple in front of him. The temple was brightly lit.

Delighted, he quickly approached the gate and saw that it was broken, the walls broken. Mendong a pile of firewood, Mencius a bamboo pole. The objects in the yard were in disarray. No matter how one looked at them, they were all in disarray. Then he went into the courtyard and looked around: he saw that there were several rooms in the main hall, each with its own hall. There was no one around, it was as if they were all asleep. "Why is such a large temple so chaotic? It seems that we have just gone through a war. " "Fellow Daoist in the room, this humble monk is here to disturb you!"

As Farmer was in a state of anxiety and no one responded to his shout, he suddenly saw a string of small Shame appearing from behind the main hall. There were also fifteen or sixteen of them. Little Shamei ran up to him and circled around him, asking, "Elder, are you from the east?" Are you calling us? " Seeing that they were too young, and both of them were in their teens, Farmer answered carelessly, "That's right. "Quick, lead me to the abbot elder." Every one of the little Shamei's were overjoyed as they clapped and shouted, "He's finally here!" But here it comes! " Someone held Fa Ming's hand and said, "Elder, please sit in the abbot's meditation hall." If you're hungry, eat! If you are thirsty, drink water! If you are sleepy, go to sleep. We are all willing to listen to you. There's no need to meet the abbot elders. " When Farmer heard this, he was both happy and confused, so he had no choice but to follow along. All the little Shamei were jumping in joy. Waves of laughter came from all around as they gathered in front and led Farmer into the abbot's Zen Hall at the back.

Inside, all the little Shamei looked like they were being naughty, and all around Farmer, they were looking closely at the lights. He looked very different from the rest. Du Yuan clapped happily and shouted, "Welcome! He faced it head on! This elder is too great! " Some moved chairs for Farmer to sit on, some made tea for him to drink, some took his hat, some took his things and set them aside, some went to light the fire, some went to boil the pot, all in a hurry. For some unknown reason, everyone saw that the young Shamei was elated.

Seeing how passionate and cute they were, Farmer was also very happy. He drank tea and pondered: "The abbot must be out on a tour." Little Shamei was unruly and didn't know how to manage her family's business. Things were scattered all over the place. These playboys, how can they not be controlled by others? "

When Farmer finished his tea, he felt thirsty. Once again, the little Shame set the dishes properly, and all of them said to Fa Ming, "Elder, please have a meal. Don't be offended by our craftsmanship. The food may not be delicious, but we all respect you. " Farmer immediately said, "Good good good, you don't mind. "Thank you for being so respectful towards me." Little Shamei was happy.

Farmer looked at the meal: it was porridge, the soup was red, the food was not rotten, the smell was bad, and the oil was forgotten. Farmer smiled and sat down to taste it. Little Shamei asked, "Elder, is the food delicious?" Farmer said, "It's delicious, not bad. The next time we cook, don't forget to put oil in. " Little Shamei didn't know what it meant, but everyone was giggling. Fa Ming was extremely hungry. As he slowly ate, he secretly laughed inside.

Hearing that the food was delicious, little Shamei said joyfully, "We made this together for you." This one said, "I cut the food." The guy said, "I washed the rice." "I burned it." "I made it." Someone said, "Don't watch the elders eat." Only then did she coax him and head out the door.

When Farmer saw them outside, he gathered by the window and seemed to be making plans by the light of the lamp. He could hear their whispers and instructions indoors. He didn't know what they were talking about. After much deliberation, they all clapped their hands and dispersed.

Farmer turned his head to eat, not caring in the least. After barely eating two bowls of rice and putting down his chopsticks, he could be considered to have eaten his fill. After seeing that Farmer had finished eating, someone went into the house and removed the tableware. Following which, all the little Shame rushed in, brought out a large chair, and put it down, saying, "Elder, please come in and sit. We have something to discuss with you." Fa Ming did not understand. He sat down on a chair and said, "Little Fellow daoist, how kind you are to me. I thank you! What do you all have to say to me? Now. "

All of a sudden, all of the little Shamei kneeled down. They didn't even ask where the monk from, what he wanted to do, but just kowtowed and said: "We pay our respects to the new elder! Paying respects to the new elder! We pay our respects to the new elders! "

"Little daoist friend, what is the meaning of this?" Little Shamei said, "This is heaven's will!" From now on, you are our Elder. " "Everyone, quickly get up. Why are you calling me Elder?" Little Shamei said, "First agree to our request, and then we'll explain in detail to you." Feeling even more baffled, Fa Ming asked, "What do you want me to promise?" "No need to ask any further, Elder." Some of them whispered: "This elder is very silly." He giggled again.

For a long time, Farmer was surprised and confused with them. Then he said, "All of you, get up and speak. How can you all bow down to me? What exactly do you want me to promise you? " Little Shame was unwilling to get up, so he kowtowed again and again and said, "If we don't say yes first, then we'll kneel and kowtow until daybreak. We definitely won't get up!" "You playboys are really mischievous!" Farmer scolded. He said helplessly, "I agree. All of you, stand up and speak."

When all the little Shame heard this, he happily kowtowed again and shouted, "Thank you, elder! Thank you, Elder, for bringing us along! You will be our abbot elder from now on! We'll let you manage the real estate deeds and the entry and exit bills in the temple. We'll listen to you. We are all your disciples now. " When Fa Ming heard this, he said in surprise, "How can you do that? I'm going to stay the night, and we'll leave at daybreak. " One of the youngest Shamei stood out and said, "Elder, this is heaven's will." You can't push it away. We won't let you go! "

Hearing him call it heaven's will, Fa Ming laughed and said, "You guys are obviously bothering me. What heaven's will do you have? Where's your abbot elder? " Another small Shami contended, "How do you say it is not heaven's will? Our elder had just become silent, and at the end of his life he said, 'Don't you all look at me crying. My heart is in pain and I don't want to leave you. "In the future, there will be high monks from the east. You all can become elders." I didn't expect you to follow the will of the heavens. It really did descend from the east. We will recognize you as an elder from now on. " Fa Ming was secretly surprised, and thought to himself, "This must be the last words of the original elder to coax them, and they will take it as the truth." What should I do? "

Just as Farmer was feeling awkward, another young Shami said, "No matter which temple you came from and what you want to go to, we won't ask. From now on, you must not go, and join the book of our temple. We acknowledge you as our elder, and we accept you as our master! " "No wonder I was always warm, attentive, and polite to me when I came in," said Fa Ming. When I was eating just now, they already had a plan outside. I sat down in the throne and was worshipped. "Oh, I've been tricked by these little things." Therefore, Farmer asked, "Which of you will tell me in detail what the name of this temple is? Who was Elder Yuan? How long has he been quiet? "

A young Shamil with a clever tongue stepped forward and said, "Our temple is called the Tzu En Temple. Our original elder was called Fa Hui. He was ninety-six years old this year. He was the one who brought us down. Was he dead? Was it killed by someone? " Another one of the younger ones stood out and said, "Our original Elder was injured and died by someone. He just died less than a month ago and finished burning three episodes yesterday. " The Dharma name then asked, "Who injured him?" The youngest, Shami, said, "The ones who injured our elder were Japanese. "They were called a bunch of Japanese, and they were called Wushikawa." Farmer was surprised, "Where did the Japanese people come from?" The eloquent little Shami said, "Elder, you still don't know. Ever since the Japanese defeated the Germans and took over Jiaodong, there had been a steady stream of men and women from the Japanese. They have long hair and long swords hanging from their waists. That day, three men and one woman came together. They made us go out to compete with them. We fear that we cannot defeat them, and no one dares to compete with them. The woman drew her sword and said, 'If you want to compete in swords.' When our elders heard the commotion and went out to see, they were unreasonable enough to make things difficult for us. The elder endured it and kindly advised them, 'These disciples of mine are very young and old. I'm sorry to disappoint you. Please go to the place where there are many monks in the temple and find someone to compete with. '' The four refused to leave.

A thin man said to our elder, 'The power of the Germans in Shandong is ours now. When the Shandong people see the Japanese, no matter old or young, they must respect them. ' When our elder heard this, he got angry and asked, 'What kind of filial piety is this?' They made the elder pay them two hundred silver dollars a month. He even asked the elder to hand over the book and the bill for them to see. They said that they would manage this temple from now on. The elder was angered. He said that they were completely unreasonable and were going too far.

Those people all said, 'If you send someone to defeat us, it would be because you have reason to do so, even if you don't want the money. "If you can't beat us, then you have to be willing to show us respect, accept our rule, and pay us silver coins every month." This was the way of the world. The strong were respected. You Chinese are born weak. You will always pay tribute to us. Right now, your country is filial to the eight nations. The task of the Shandong people was to honor the Japanese. "Old monk, are you admitting defeat?" Our elder was so angry that he refused to admit defeat and decided to spar with them. When we fight, the four of us will fight against one of our Elders.

Our elder was already old and couldn't last much longer than the four of them. He was seriously injured, and after living for one night, Daylight passed away with hatred in his eyes. The four of them fooled around here for an entire night, looting all the money we had saved up. They said that they had gone for a walk. They did not know where they had gone. They did not come back.
